The infective droplet nucleus is very small measuring 5 micrometers or less and may contain approximately 1-10 bacilli. 5-200 inhaled bacilli are usually ction. These tubercle bacilli are ingested by alveolar macrophages; the cilli are destroyed or inhibited: A small number may multiply released when the macrophages die. If alive, these bacilli may spread by way of lymphatic channels or through the bloodstream to more distant tissues and organs (including areas of the body in which TB disease is most likely to develop: regional lymph nodes, apex of the lung, kidneys, brain, and bone). This process of disseminahon primes the immune system for a systemic response. Within 2 to 8 weeks, special immune tells called macrophages ingest and surround the tubercle bacilli. The cells form a barrier shell, called a granuloma, that keeps the bacilli contained and under control (LTBI) If the immune system cannot keep the tubercle bacilli under control, the bacilli begin to multiply idly (TB disease).
